Speaker 130.48s - 31.72s

AM 620.

Speaker 632.54s - 34.9s

Yeah, he'll be, as of now.

Speaker 134.98s - 37.44s

I think he's got a bullpen today, if I'm not mistaken.

Speaker 637.74s - 43.2s

And if things stay on course, I think probably will get the ball on Friday.

Speaker 143.2s - 50.14s

We'll let Cash handle that if I just broke news. Sorry, Cashie PERSON, but I believe that's where it is. I'm up in Charleston GPE with our A-ball club right now.

Speaker 451.44s - 223.64s

You just broke news, Eric Neander PERSON. He was just on with me. In the last half hour, breaking news here. Todge Bradley PERSON returns for the raise on Friday. Ryan Pepio goes on the injured list after being hitby that line drive, but it should not be a long stay whatsoever. Good afternoon, Tampa Bay GPE. Welcome back. The Drive with T-Cras. 4-07 on your ride home. On this, would-you-rather Wednesday?We're not even doing, would-you-rather? We're doing mailbag. Everything is accelerated. Our Friday guests and features are accelerated to today. I won't be here tomorrow and Friday, so that's why you heard from Eric Neander in the last hour,breaking some news. Tosh Bradley will be back on Friday when the Yankees ORG come into town. Don't forget, it's an off day tomorrow after the raise and the white socks wrap up their three games set here tonight with Aaron Savali PERSON on the mound. The raise will continue to wear the City Connect ORG jerseys.They're wearing them tonight for the sixth consecutive game. They are 5-0 in the City Connect ORG jerseys. They are 5-0 since Ryan, since Johnny DeLuca, our guy who was on with us yesterday, joined the team. He's got 10 RBI so far in those five games, had two more hits last night, by the way. So everything's clicking for the team. He's got 10 RBI so far in those five games at two more hits last night, by the way. So everything's clicking for the raise.And it just kind of feels like what I said yesterday was maybe on the verge of materializing, which is I think the razor's turning the corner. And not only because of how they're playing now, because they're pitching better, they've been defending a lot better of late. Some guys are trying to come out of their slumps. You know've been defending a lot better of late. Some guys are trying to come out of their slumps.You know, Randy had a home run last night. You know, he's still hitting in the 150s. Hopefully, you know, the race can get him back on track. That would certainly be ideal. Right now, the best player in this team is Isok Perides, who at his eighth home run last night to kind of lead the way he had three hits. He's been fantastic. But if theRays ORG can get these other guys going a little bit, then you know, maybe, just maybe they will be headed in the right direction. I think they've turned the corner, not just because ofhow they're playing, but because of the healthy bodies they're getting back. DeLuca PERSON's back healthy bodies they're getting back. DeLuca PERSON's back. Josh Lowe PERSON is back. Tosh Bradley returns on Friday.You heard Eric Neander spill the beans a half an hour ago on this hideous radio station. Shane Baza PERSON is coming back very soon. So is Brandon Laos. So is Pete Fairbanks, which means the Rays ORG have a lot of tough decisions to make. All right, let's talk to the guy who's all over it. Ray's Insider. Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Bay.com. He's with us on the Central Florida Behavioral Health Network ORG DA hotline.Learn more at C.FBHN.org ORG. He's over at the Trop ORG. Mark Topkin is with us here on a Wednesday. A nice little change up there, Topper PERSON. How are you? I'm good. I'm good.

Speaker 5223.7s - 227.64s

I heard you're taking the rest of the week off again. So, you know, we're going to squeeze it in today.

Speaker 4228s - 248s

Yes, so we are going to squeeze it in today. So that's funny. Let's talk about Tage Bradley PERSON, the big story that developed here in the last 40 minutes or so when Eric Neander was on here and he said, Tosh Bradley is going to start on Friday. Ryan Pepio goes to the injured list. So it'll be interesting to see how all this plays out, Mark PERSON. What are you hearing?

Speaker 5249.34s - 326.16s

Yeah, I mean, not to diminish what news you broke on your show, but we had in the paper today, it looked like it was going to be Friday for Tage PERSON. He was going to come off. Pepio PERSON going to the I.L. From getting hit with that ball the other day, he just talked to him. Actually, that's why I was a little late jumping on with you.And he said, you know, it's just one of those things where he thought he could do it. They were doing everything he could the last two days and kind of came to the conclusion that, you know, landing on that leg, you know, 90 to 100 times at full force is probably not a good thing when you've still got the seams from the ball showing on your leg. That's how hard it was hit. So definitely he took a wise move.And he's frustrated. He didn't want to miss a turn. He's obviously been pitching well. But downside of it, as he put it was, what if he goes out there and after 20 pitches, he can't do it? And they've got to cover, you know, seven, eight innings out of the bullpen again when they had to do that last time. So he's going to do, they're going to do the smart thing. He thinks it'll just be the minimum stay. Tage PERSON is ready to come off anyway so what this probably does ultimately is by TylerAlexander another starter two I think he would have been the guy to drop out of the rotation otherwise with Bradley coming back so Bradley PERSON jumps in on Friday and it'll just keep things where they had themyou know it bumps LaTelle I think one day different but otherwise than that they'll just slot right in there and keep rolling and see what they can do and they are where the city connects again today which I know it will make you happy.

Speaker 4326.32s - 336.7s

Yeah. Yeah, it does make me happy because they're sharp looking and they're winning. Look, I mean, if they were winning with overalls on, I think they would wear overalls. You know how it is.

Speaker 5338.8s - 342.5s

I think if they were playing with overalls, we'd have a bigger story.

Speaker 4342.6s - 353.28s

But, yes, it's the point. You're good with whatever works. You're that kind of guy. Yeah, listen, I just go with the flow. So you talk to Pepio PERSON, and he said he's got the stitching from the baseball, like on his leg. Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5354.34s - 356.12s

He said, you can see the seams.

Speaker 4356.32s - 358.3s

One part's on the bone and one part's on the muscle.

Speaker 5358.44s - 371.94s

He said if he got hit an inch or two differently, he'd probably be in a cast right now. So I think that speaks pretty well to how lucky he was to it not be worse and also just to, you know, how severe this was even to the degree where he can

Speaker 4371.94s - 390.6s

still, you know, only miss a couple weeks. Wow. Interesting stuff there. Mark Topkin is with us. He's at the Trop ORG. Where tonight the Reyes PERSON hope to sweep the white socks with Aaron Savali on the mound here, Mark PERSON. He's been roughedup of late. He hasn't made it out of the fifth inning, three straight starts. So what can we expect here tonight? Because, you know, it's a big start for him.

Speaker 5392.24s - 409.34s

I mean, it is, but I also don't think he's like getting dropped from the rotation if it goes badly again either. So you have to kind of have that perspective. Talk to Cash about that a few minutes before. And he basically said, as you would expect, that he thinks Aaron Savali PERSON has been throwing the ball well, that if you took a couple innings out of his body of work, obviously

Speaker 0409.34s - 417.82s

the innings like the fifth where he gave up a bunch of runs, his numbers would look a lot better, would be more reflective of the way he's pitching. I specifically asked him, you know,

Speaker 5417.84s - 452.1s

I understand you saying that, but it seems to be a pattern here where they're seeing him by that third time they're seeing him, that fifth inning is where, you know, they're doing the damage. And he basically said, yeah, so. And, you know, Aaron Savali PERSON's been around enough. He should be able to know how to make the adjustments that are necessary to make. So we'll see how it goes. And if you want to add a little bit further measure to it, the guy that Aaron Savali was traded for, Kyle Manzardo got called up by the Guardians the other day. So that trade that looked like, oh, the raise made another raise trade. Now Savali struggling a little bit. Now Manzardo PERSON's in the big league. So you'll have anothertalking point for your hideous show next week. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. We're

Speaker 4452.1s - 474.16s

always looking for content. So, you know, when Eric was on with us in the last hour, Mark PERSON, he said, obviously, Toges is coming up Friday. Pete Fairbanks is close. Made a rehab appearance yesterday. Brandon Lowe started yesterday. And it seemed like from what he was saying that Brandon Lough PERSON may only be down there for a couple of days. And he could be back here as soon as this weekend.Is that what you're hearing?

Speaker 5475.22s - 593.62s

That would seem a little quick, given that he only played five innings yesterday. But I think he is playing again today. So maybe it's just weekend. Maybe it's on the road trip. But, you know, Brandon Lyle PERSON's been out a while. And he's also a guy that, you know, as we know, has a very specific swing.There's a lot of torque to his swing. There's a lot of timing element to his swing that, you know, he has to know it's right. Now, if he, you know, the Kass tries to talk to these guys like every day or every other day when they're on rehab and just, you know, how he has it going. And if Brandon Lauer PERSON were to tell him, I feel like I am good to go, I guess they could accelerate it. I would think he would need at least a week down there.So yesterday was day one, today's day two. It would seem a little quick to get him up here against the Yankees ORG. But, yeah, I guess we can't rule anything out. Fairbanks is going to pitch again Thursday. That would be tomorrow for you in case you weren't aware. And then be re-evaluated.So he could possibly be back against the Yankees ORG, and that may, you know, be a little bit dependent on how the bullpen is used today, but having that off day tomorrow will help them refresh. So that's definitely a possibility that you could see Fairbanks PERSON. Like I said, I'd be a little surprised to see Brandon Lowe PERSON. And then Aranda, who's been very slow on his rehab, you know, suddenly sees things happening up here, and he goes four for five yesterday. So we'll see how he does today in his rehab.But, yeah, I would think by the time they get to Boston, at least, or during that road trip, all three of those guys could be back up. And that will further change the look of this team. It certainly make it thicker and give them a lot more options. And I know we've talked about this before, missing the three lefties, the two guys with track records, Josh Lowe and then Jonathan and Rhonda PERSON, whom they had high expectations for, you know, not only is that missing them in the lineup, but also limited cash's maneuverability duringgames where he would counter moves team would make or sometimes even prevent a team for making a specific move just by knowing that you had those lefties on the bench or you had the righties on the bench because he started the lefties, however it lined up. So I think this will make them not just better talent-wise but also better depth-wise, strategic-wise, all those kind of things.

Speaker 4593.98s - 616.12s

Without question, Mark Topkin PERSON is with us. Tampa Bay Times, Tampa Bay.com, the raise and the white sucks tonight. And, you know, Shane Boz is also going to be back at some point here, Mark PERSON, and Eric Neander made it clear that they are looking at Shane Boz as a starting pitcher, which means, you know, Shane Boz is also going to be back at some point here, Mark, and Eric Neander made it clear that they are looking at Shane Boz as a starting pitcher, which means, you know, in a couple of weeks, the race may have a good problem on their hands with all these pitchers and only so many spots.

Speaker 5617.58s - 674.06s

Yeah, I still think Shane Boz has got to kind of not only prove he's healthy, but prove he's ready to be a big league pitcher, too. I mean, you go back and look, I mean, a tremendous amount of talent, but what does he have? I think nine starts in the big league. So, you know, when he gets healthy, he could also stay at Durham ORG for a while. I think that's going to depend on where they are.I mean, there's only so many spots, as you say. We know that they're certainly not going to do anything with some of those lead guys. I would assume, you know, assuming everyone's healthy, Eflin Lutel, Savali PERSON, Pepeo PERSON when he gets back, all seem pretty set. Now, Taj Bradley PERSON. So where are you going to add Boz PERSON to that group?And then, oh, by the way, Jeffrey Springs PERSON is going to start throwing in games on May 20th against in a, like, Florida Complex League ORG game. But that kind of starts the clock on him, and that seems to line up pretty well with that, you know, right around the All-Star EVENT break, which was the early kind of point of demarcation for him. Sothat's the guy you do make room for in the rotation when he's ready to help you to go. There's no

Speaker 4674.06s - 712.38s

doubt. So I'm looking at the lineup tonight, and you know, Josh Lowe PERSON, they're going to give him a night off as a breather. I know he told you the other day that, you know, he got tired after his first game. He was getting a littletired. So obviously they're going to try and build them back up. There's an off day tomorrow and the race are really known for doing that, giving guys, you know, two days off before the Yankees coming to town this weekend. Jose Siri Mark PERSON is in the lineup. So I think a lot of eyes will be on him because Johnny DeLuca PERSON obviously has been making a really big impact early and maybe Jose Siri might have his day's number two when they have to do some of this maneuvering in the next couple weeks.

Speaker 5713.44s - 791.92s

Yeah, I know we talked about this at Lent last week and I still don't think they're at the point where they're going to just give Jose Siri PERSON away. You can't send him to the minors because he's out of option. So, you know, your suggestion that it would mean they were going to trade them. And, you know, what depth do you have at that position? I think there's definitely ways for these guys to coexist.We saw Siri and Manny Margo PERSON cover the spot for a while, obviously, both right-handers. It's lefty-right. He's a little different, but even with two right-handers, there's ways to split this time up. And, you know, maybe Jose Sirius PERSON sits the bench a little more. That's definitely not out of the question. You've got to have some merit here. And Johnny DeLuca PERSON certainly has deserved theopportunity to play. He can also play right. It works out tonight, even though they're facing a right-hander, all the lefties are out of the lineup, not just Josh Lowe. And that's because Chris Flexen PERSON is what they kind of call a reverse split guy. He's actually tougher, usually on lefties than righties. Also, you know, how the White Sucks ORG bullpen is set up, may work in cash his favor when they do go to some of those right-hanners.He's got the lefties on the bench. So I think that, you know, for now it's going to be a rotation. I don't think Siri's going anywhere. And realistically, there's probably, you know, they probably want to see the Luca PERSON play for a little while. And if he continues to, you know, get 10 RBIs every four games,and they know they've got something on their hands. But, you know, Ahmed Rosario PERSON started really strong. He's cooled off quite a bit. Richie Palacios PERSON has cooled off a bit, so we know this cycles back and forth.

Speaker 4792.22s - 809.8s

Yeah, it's a long season. So I'll get you out on this. Zach Eflin was really good yesterday, and then he told you guys after the game that, you know, he's got the whole mustache, the Magnum P.I PRODUCT thing going and that his wife had approved of it, too. So it sounds like his wife's not going to be too happy because he pitched well so the mustache stays, right?

Speaker 5811.04s - 814.54s

You think Magnum P.I. I was thinking more like Mario PERSON from the video game.

Speaker 4814.92s - 817.86s

Yeah, I get that. Super Mario Bros. WORK_OF_ART All right, I get that.

Speaker 5817.86s - 822.16s

Maybe Chris PERSON could work something up on that for us and we could do a little side by side.

Speaker 4822.38s - 834.96s

But, yeah, I think if you were going to vote an MVP last night's game, it would be Lauren Eflin PERSON for approving that look. Yes, I agree. So does that mean your beard, Mark PERSON is going to come off, you know, until they get their first loss here or what?

Speaker 5836.4s - 838.08s

No, that does not mean my

Speaker 4838.08s - 856.82s

beard. I think the last time I was without a beard was in college, which was started in the eights, the 80s, so we're not going to be worrying about shaving this beard. No, okay, you're not going there. All right, you can read on Tampa Bay Times ORG.Tampa Bay.com. He's covering the game tonight. Mark Topkin, I appreciate a couple minutes, buddy. You'll stay out of trouble over there.

Speaker 5857.86s - 861.14s

Yeah, enjoy your long weekend because I'm sure you really deserved it.

Speaker 4861.18s - 862.94s

I do deserve it. You're damn right.

Speaker 5865.18s - 869.58s

All right, I'll talk to you later. Let's see. That's Mark Toffkin PERSON.

Speaker 4869.78s - 871.56s

Boy, you know, he thinks he's funny, you know.

Speaker 2871.64s - 875.98s

No, no, no, no. He insulted him a little bit. He did. He insulted me a little bit.

Speaker 4877s - 891.12s

That's okay. We've known each other for 15, 20 years, however long it's been. He's a lot to make fun of me, you know. And that doesn't mean that the door is open for some of you chumps on the text platform to say the same thing. Or,

Speaker 2892.08s - 893.86s

you know what? When you get on the phone,

Speaker 4894.06s - 936.38s

you know, I'll let you finish. What are you guys? Too, chicken a call? I'm a nice guy. I'll let you talk. Unless you say something derogatory. Derogatory.Yeah, he's great. 888, 546, 4, 620. All right, coming up, because this is sort of like a Friday type of show, baked into a Wednesday, because I'll be out the rest of the week. You freaking people. The aforementioned comments on the text platform and Instagram ORG, boy,there were some doozies on there. Facebook ORG, the usual idiots on there. We're going to dive into them. I'm going to give it back to you as well. The mailbag on the drive is coming your way next. Don't move.

Speaker 2937.74s - 941.2s

You're locked in to the drive with T-cracks.

Tweet it and slid into the DMs. Now it's time to showcase your best insults, opinions, and utter and ridiculous nonsense from the week that was. Some call it therapy. We call it time for payback. This is the mailbag on the drive with T-Kras PRODUCT.

Speaker 41020.2s - 1060.26s

Man, oh man, some of you have sunk to new lows, and apparently you don't care. And I've said this before, and by the way, this is the mailbag here on the drive presented by Bartow Ford ORG. They're different and they prove it. And you guys definitely are different, some of you, and you prove it too. I'll be very careful if I were some of you because unless you don't have a job. And I'm guessing many of these people because they message over and over again. Maybe you don't have a job, then I guess it doesn't apply to you.But if you do have a job, and if I were your boss and I saw some of the things that you post on social media, you'd be fired in two seconds. I'm just telling you right now.

Speaker 21060.5s - 1061.66s

Third prize is you fired.

Speaker 41061.7s - 1160.42s

A lot of you are incompetent. A lot of you can't even put words or sentences together, which means you probably need to go back to school. Did you get a GED WORK_OF_ART? I'm not even sure. I don't know.But that's what I'm looking at. And I think it's pathetic. All right, let's take a look at a text platform a little bit. Trust me, I'm just warming up in the bullpen. I'm coming in. I'm throwing 98.And for some of you, you know, like what's his face? Peralta against Siri, you know, you're probably going to get one off your hip. And 95, 96. It is intentional. You got that right. It's intentional.All right, on Monday, I don't know why some of you took great delight in ragging on me because the race swept the Mets ORG like this guy at the 7-2-7. How sad are you, too, crazy? The race swept the Mets ORG. I hope you the 7-27. How sad are you too crazy? The race swept the Mets ORG. I hope you kicked all of your Mets ORG friends back up north. Go race.Wasn't sad at all. I sat here on Friday and said the Rays need this more than the Mets ORG needed this and that I was hoping for the race to take two out of three. They ended up getting a sweep because of a Rose Arena's incredible at bat against Edwin Diaz in that game on Sunday that led the race comeback. This is funny. T-cras, we need that line.Nice game, pretty boy, soundby from Seinfeld in honor of Jose Siri PERSON. It was the great Newman that said it to Keith Hernandez PERSON. Nice game, pretty boy, indeed. Sincerely, Guy PERSON, talk about dopes. Did Martini Mathis PERSON actually finish his cocktail this time? They're so cute at that age.You saw them by your strawberry lemonade over at Frescos ORG. How did that go?

Speaker 31160.54s - 1165.76s

Yeah, I did really like the drink. However, I did not finish the drink. Oh, what?

Speaker 41165.96s - 1170.78s

Didn't do it. They're on the house. It was on Ronnie Lane PERSON. It was. I let Lily have it for a birthday.

Speaker 31171.8s - 1178.18s

Wow. I had about a half of it and I thought, okay, I'm done. Wow, that's amazing.

Speaker 41180.7s - 1204.94s

Look at this guy. Good afternoon, T. Crags PERSON. I'm planning on going to a race Yankees game in the Bronx over the summer. Am I going to get stuff thrown at me if I wear raised gear or should I just wear normal clothes? That's a fascinating question, sir, or madam? If you were sitting in the outfield, I think, yeah, I think you'd probably be in some trouble.

Speaker 01204.94s - 1214.3s

Those bleacher creatures in the outfield, I think, yeah, I think you'd probably be in some trouble. Those bleacher creatures in the outfield, I mean, they're dopes. They're like the lowest form of humanity, Yankee ORG fans that sit over in the outfield seats.

Speaker 41217.82s - 1252.92s

So if you want to be on the safe side, maybe you don't wear them. But if you're sitting in those outfield seats, I would say definitely don't wear them. Out of the 813, I know T-Cras was a huge fan of Jose Siri before the Met ORG series. I bet he's a bigger fan now, so I'm not sure. What does that mean? I'm not a big fan of Jose Siri PERSON.Out of the 727, T-Cra's now called Nostradam, as he called it? The Rays ORG were resurrected in this series. Genius. I doubted him, but he was right again. Wow. That's very rare, Chris Mathis PERSON.

Speaker 31255.18s - 1256.94s

You were right yesterday as well with the East St. ORG I'm clueless, though.

Speaker 41257.02s - 1358.3s

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm clueless. I never get anything right. That's according to some of these jerk wads, and I'll get to them in a matter of moments. So the Tom Brady comments, and about 9-11 really didn't sit well with me at all.I think there are certain things that you can joke about, and for some of you who are texting it, it's a roasted. Roast these nuts! Do you have any class at all? Are you considerate at all? Do you realize what happened that class at all? Are you considerate at all? Do you realize what happened that day at all? How ignorant is this country?How ignorant are people in this market? Tell me. What justification does anyone have making a joke about what happened that day? On the worst day in this country's history, that's the worst tragedy we've ever seen. Oh yeah, let's joke about that. That's fabulous because that's what we should be doing.It's joking about something that was so heinous and horrific. Relax is a roast. What a bunch of freaking idiots some of you are. Like this guy, the 727. Yeah, so we can't talk about billionaires getting, you know, happy endings. I got it.Yeah, got it, Karen PERSON. This guy was calling me a Karen PERSON. Yeah, you're the biggest moron of them all. How do you equate Robert Kraft PERSON getting happy endings during a massage with 9-11 EVENT?Are you a freaking moron or were you just born stupid? 727 PRODUCT, 3, 2, 4, 9.

Speaker 31358.42s - 1371.72s

Yeah, we got it right there, Tom PERSON. I got another one for you. What a freaking idiot. Seriously. On the Instagram page, Ryan PERSON says, L.O.L.These old heads can't take a joke. We are Americans NORP. We make fun of 9-11 EVENT all the time.

Speaker 41371.96s - 1380.64s

Who? Who's we Americans NORP? Not Americans NORP that I know. Another imbecile. Go ahead.

Speaker 31380.7s - 1387.1s

Shoot me another one. Yeah. Another one says, all right, Ken, it's a roast, and they get edgy. That from kayaker Greg PERSON.

Speaker 41387.44s - 1392.6s

Kayaker Greg PERSON, I hope you go upside down on your kayak and an alligator bites your pecker off.

Speaker 31392.72s - 1394.32s

How's that, kayaker, Greg PERSON?

Speaker 41394.92s - 1396.14s

Stay on your kayak.

Speaker 31397.04s - 1399.9s

Because you're getting too much sun, kayaker, Greg PERSON.

Speaker 41400.66s - 1402.32s

What an idiotic take.

Speaker 31402.48s - 1405.54s

And I'll tell you, if I was your boss and I saw that, you're fired!

Speaker 01406.4s - 1407.98s

Get out right now!

Speaker 31409.3s - 1411.1s

We make fun of it all the time.

Speaker 21411.46s - 1412.58s

Are you freaking kidding?

Speaker 01414.96s - 1416.1s

Here's one more, Tom PERSON.

Speaker 21416.14s - 1417.5s

This one, I did like this one.

Speaker 01417.58s - 1418.26s

Get over it.

Speaker 41418.56s - 1419.84s

And I quote, get over it.

Speaker 31420.08s - 1422.54s

Two plus decades have passed. Jesus, Cupcake.

Speaker 41423.14s - 1493.74s

Cupcake my ass. You want to see a cupcake? You know, I'll give you a cupcake. Moron. That's something you don't forget. That's something you don't joke about.3,000 families lost their loved ones for no reason that day. Oh, let's joke about it. Because it's a rose. It's fine. People can get over it. Not if that was your husband or wife or son or daughter.That was thoughtlessly killed that day. What an asshole you are. That's what you are. And you know who put that out there. You're probably too afraid to freaking listen or call in because I would roast your ass. And I would leave tire tracks up and down your back. How do we become so insensitive,so inconsiderate? How do we do that? Comes from upbringing? Were you abandoned as a kid or something? There's no excuse for it, guys.No excuse for this kind of behavior or that kind of mentality. And I'm not going to put up with it at all. As long as I'm sitting here in this chair, I ain't going to put up with this crap. One more, Tom PERSON.

Speaker 31493.86s - 1499.02s

This is the last one. This one from Jay. If you were offended, the exit door is to the left, cry baby.

Speaker 41499.58s - 1682.42s

Cry baby my ass, Jay. Why don't you take some more steroids while you're at it? I saw his profile picture. I'm big and strong. You got nothing for a brain. Your brain looks like this. See this? This is your brain, okay? I don't care if you have big bulging biceps. You ain't doing anything with it because this is what your brain looks like. And I ain't going anywhere. I'm here to stay. And look, here's the bottom line.You can't win, okay? You can't beat me. You see, that's why I'm here and you're over there. And that's why I'm a winner. I'll always be a winner. And you'll always be a loser.Speaking of losers, Facebook, so I put on Twitter ORG, on Facebook ORG, you know, the canvas, you know, highlights of the show, things that are said here. I think the rays have turned the corner. By the way, you've had Kevin Cash PERSON,you've had players, Zach Eflin said it last night. These are guys in the know, these are guys that coached the race. These guys that play for the raise. And they're saying the same thing. But yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about, especially with John Harate PERSON, Harat PERSON.I don't even know what your name is. Your profile picture, by the way, Johnny Boy PERSON, says it all. T-Cras had them as World Series champs this time last year. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong again, John PERSON. That's how dumb you are.That's why this market gets laughed at because of idiotic, dim-witted fans like yourself. You don't even call yourself a fan, but you know, you're not the worst. This guy is the worst. It gets worse than that. Oh, yeah. It gets worse because this guy, he is a perennial loser. He's always on Facebook ORG.He's always thinking he's smart and everyone else. That's why I'm here and you're there. Matt Cole. I mean, you should be embarrassed, dude, by sitting there all day, seeing what you can say to try and rattle somebody's cage. You ain't rattling my cage, brother.Okay. Amateur hour exists when you get behind your keyboard and type whatever it is that you type. Just remember, I've had a long distinguished career. You're not distinguished. You haven't had any career. You're a loser.You're a nobody. Why even bother? A little bit? Listen. I'm on fire. You want to tangle with me, dude?Again, I will rake you. You don't want any part of this. And there you have it. There's the mailbag on this Wednesday. It's not even a Friday. It's a Wednesday.But this is what we were dealing with. The entire week on a short week. You freaking people. This is kind of funny. Chris Mathis PERSON has more stolen pretzels that, than Randia Rosarina PERSON has stolen bases.

Speaker 31683.58s - 1683.98s

Is that right?

Speaker 41684.7s - 1730.84s

Is that right? Is that right? I did right? Is that right? I did still four pretzels. I don't know. Ticras PERSON calling inside pitch, Kirkplunk PERSON always has me dying.Steve, from the 813 PRODUCT, you know, he texts in like 25 times a day, and maybe one or two of them hit the mark. And this one was kind of funny. We're talking about René Pinto down at Durham ORG. Remember he had a home run, and he took his time going around the bases, hamming it up.René Pinto made it around the bases like T-Cras strolled down the bourbon aisle over at Total Wine ORG. I don't get my bourbon at Total Wine there, Steve-o, but that was kind of funny. Oh, there you have it.

Speaker 31731.86s - 1733.94s

I don't know. That was interesting.

Speaker 41734.12s - 1735.24s

It was interesting.

Speaker 31735.7s - 1743.8s

Boltz fan Benny PERSON tweeted at us T. Cres PERSON and he says, good mail bag this week and he took a photo. He's at Indian Rock's Beach LOC right there on the sand.

Speaker 41743.84s - 1749.34s

Speaker 31960.66s - 1994.66s

Speaker 21995.02s - 2003.32s

As the Pacers take on the Knicks in game two of the series, that game gets underway at 8 o'clock on TNT ORG. And that is what's on tonight.

Speaker 42003.56s - 2300.42s

Yes, Reggie Miller will be calling the game on TNT tonight. Hi, everybody, this is Marv Albert PERSON. Game two between the Knicks and the Indiana Pacers tonight. Yes. An inauspicious start to the series for the Knicks ORG. So Reggie Miller walks back into Madison Square Garden tonight.He's like, hey, you know, everyone, I want everyone to boo me.

And the Gold and Diamond Source ORG.Stephen Julia Winthrop PERSON, awesome people. I had to take my mom to the doctor today. Mother's day is coming up on Sunday, so don't forget to take care of mom. TheBucks and the NFL ORG. The NFL schedules do out next week. So we talked about that in the last hour. I'm kind of hoping to see Bucks at Chiefs ORG, that first Thursday night game of the regular seasonbecause the Bucks are slated to play at Kansas City this season at some point. I think getting it right out of the bat, right off the bat, you know, to kick off the season would be pretty cool. Todd Bowles was on Rich Eisen PERSON. Yesterday, I think it was. And, you know, as a defensive guy, I thought it was an interesting question.Rich Eisen asked him about the hip-drop tackle, which is now illegal in the NFL ORG. And Todd PERSON said, look, for us, it's not going to be a big problem because we didn't teach it to begin with. And we try not to do it. We don't condone it at all. It's great to get it out of the game. I think it just brings more awareness to when some people are trying to, you know, bring people down.And I don't think it'll be a problem for our team. Nobody tries to do it. Nobody wants to do it. I think it should be banned from the game. I just think it brings more awareness to it as far as we're concerned. We don't teach it.And we try not to do it at all. So it's really hard, though, to legislate this out of the game. And they're going to try and do it. And for coaches now, you have to convey that message to your players throughout the off-season conditioning program. And then when mandatory minicamp comes in June, and then, of course, when training camp comes around,that's going to be a point of emphasis, although a lot of these practices are non-contact, but you know, you've got to learn somehow. And when you're there in the heat of the battle and you have to make a snap second decision as a defender, you know, you're just trying to bring a guy down to the ground. And I don't think these defenders are trying to drop their hips into the back of a guy's legs and, you know,that's a high ankle sprains and knee injuries. Look, I get all that, but this might be difficult to, not to interpret, to legislate really, because as a defender out there, you're just trying to make a play. You're just trying to get the guy down to the ground. And in some instances, when you're trying to defend the guy like, I don't know, Justin Jefferson PERSON,or you're trying to stop Nick Chubb from getting into the end zone. Mark Andrews, where Logan Wilson, the linebacker from the Bengals ORG, I mean, Andrews catches the ball inside the five-yard line. What are you going to do if you're Logan Wilson? You're trying to bring that guy down at all costs.And unfortunate, you know, in the process of doing that, yeah, he dropped his hip, dropped his weight right down across the back of Mark Andrew's PERSON leg. And unfortunately, Andrews PERSON got hurt. So I think this is going to take some time. And with guys bigger, stronger, faster than ever before, a guy like Brock Bowers PERSON, you know, a guy who's 6'3, 245 pounds who runs in the 4-4s, who's as strong and as athletic as he is,you know, how in the world are you going to get that guy to the ground? Because sometimes, you know, in the heat of the moment, you know, you put your arms around a guy, you're trying to wrap him up around the waist, and, you know, the next thing you know, you're dropping yourself across the guy, you're trying to wrap them up around the waist, and, you know, the next thing you know, you're dropping yourself across the back of some guy's legs, and then that's when injuries happen. It's just so unfortunate.8-8-4-6-4-620. Dave is in Brandon GPE. It's up next. What's going on, Dave? How are you? Hey, K-Kras PERSON.

Speaker 02300.52s - 2311.44s

When I called in Friday and said my fantasy was to have you here at this time slot. But if you brought up entertainment value, Kras PERSON, and that's why I wanted you at this spot, buddy, on the drive.

Speaker 42312.12s - 2315.06s

I appreciate it. Hey, Dave. What's up, man? What's on your mind?

Speaker 02315.26s - 2367.26s

Hey, man. This year's draft, see if you agree with me, Tom PERSON. The second and third round picks, a lot of them were worthy of the first round. A lot of these picks, which brings me to light, when he drafted the corners leadingup, remember two years in a row, we drafted corners and we won a Super Bowl EVENT with him. He got Devin White PERSON, then he got worse. This year, let me tell you real quick, this Tykees Smith, his coach asked what does he bring? And he said,what doesn't he bring? The guy's a tackler, a physical, this Chris Braswell, the games that I saw of Alabama, what doesn't he bring? The guy's a tackler, a physical. This Chris Braswell, the games that I saw of Alabama, it seemed like he was making every tackle, and he led in pressures. And now this Barton, one of these host guys were asking, and who's the number one player in this draft that you think's just going to, you know,be an absolute starter in the NFL, and the guy picked Barton PERSON? And I was surprised he went as late as he did. What do you think about those three?

Speaker 42367.52s - 2526.32s

I love all three picks, David PERSON. I appreciate the phone call. I think all three of those guys will make big impacts. Graham Barton, I think, will be the starting center, week one. Chris Braswell, and we were talking about it right before the second and third round that Friday. When we previewedday two of the draft, he was number one on my wish list. When I looked at the guys that were still available, I like, look, the Bucks ORG addressed the interior of the old line, home run pickGraham Barton PERSON. If they can get Chris Braswell of Alabama, he was the number one guy in my wish list going at the Friday, then they'll be made in the shade. And they were able to pick him in the second round. And then two third round picks, Tykees Smith. Todd Bowles' son, of course, is at Georgia ORG. So Todd obviously has some inside information there. A guy who can play safety, can play corner,certainly going to be a factor on special teams. And Jaylon McMillan, the other third round pick out of Washington ORG, I mean, the guy's got big hands. He can catch the ball, runs good routes, 6-1, adequate size. Chris Godwin PERSON's going to be the primary slot receiver. Jalen McMillan PERSON could play outside. He could play inside.He's going to help him out. A lot of people love Bucky Irving in round four. A guy who catches the ball and makes guys miss. You know, the more you look at this Buccaneer ORG draft, the more you look at it and say, man, Jason Like PERSON came up with another gym. He absolutely did.All right, two hours are in the books. All right, coming up in a matter of moments, right at the top of the 5 o'clock hour. We do this nine times every weekday. Your next opportunity, you can win $1,000.

You can buy you a lot of things. Can't buy you class of dignity, but it could buy you a lot of things. And it's coming up at the top of the hour. You're going to hear the nationwide keyword.When you hear it, you go over to our website, 953WDA.com ORG, you insert the keyword there, and you can win $1,000 just by listening to this hideous show, courtesy of IHard Radio ORG and your friends here at D.A.E.

I'm putting it on. I'm trying to bring the Rays ORG more juice,more good luck. There is news with the Rays ORG. Guess who's in the lineup tonight? Guess who's coming back on Friday?
